There’s something timeless about cooking over fire.
From slow-smoked brisket to perfectly seared steaks over charcoal, barbecue season is about more than simply cooking outdoors -it’s about flavour, craftsmanship and bringing people together around exceptional food.
At Tom Hixson of Smithfield, our BBQ collection has been curated for those who take grilling seriously. Whether you’re preparing a relaxed summer gathering, an all-day smoking session or a show-stopping feast for friends and family, our selection features some of the finest cuts available for barbecue and live-fire cooking.
From heavily marbled steaks and expertly butchered ribs to competition-worthy briskets and handcrafted burgers, every cut is selected for quality, consistency and eating experience.
Alongside our premium meats, you’ll also discover carefully chosen sauces, rubs and BBQ essentials designed to elevate every cook.
Different cuts bring different experiences to the grill.
For high-heat searing, few cuts rival the richness of a ribeye or the deep beef flavour of a sirloin. tomahawk and porterhouse steaks offer a more dramatic centrepiece, perfect for sharing and ideal for cooking directly over flame.
For low-and-slow barbecue enthusiasts, Beef Brisket and Short Ribs remain essential. Given time, smoke and patience, these cuts develop extraordinary tenderness and deep, savoury flavour.
Picanha has also become a firm favourite amongst barbecue enthusiasts for its beautiful fat cap and rich beef character when cooked over charcoal.
Our BBQ range also includes:
Burgers
Beef Short Ribs
USDA St Louis Ribs
Briskets for smoking
Pork ribs and pulled pork
Sausages
Whether you prefer traditional charcoal grilling, offset smoking or modern kamado-style cooking, our collection has been selected to suit every style of barbecue.
Great barbecue starts long before the fire is lit.
The quality of the meat, the level of marbling and the expertise behind the sourcing all play a defining role in the final result. That’s why we work with world-renowned producers and trusted farming partners who share our commitment to exceptional quality and welfare standards.
From USDA beef and Australian Wagyu to expertly sourced British and European cuts, every product within our BBQ range has been chosen for its ability to deliver an unforgettable eating experience.
For those hosting larger gatherings, many of our BBQ products are also available for bulk ordering - making it easier to cater for everything from weekend family grills to large-scale summer events.
One of the greatest pleasures of barbecue cooking is how versatile it can be.
Some cuts benefit from nothing more than sea salt and flame, allowing natural marbling and beef flavour to shine through. Others welcome bold seasoning, rich glazes and layers of smoke.
For richly marbled Wagyu and premium steaks, simplicity is often best.
For ribs, wings and smoked meats, sauces and marinades can transform the experience entirely. From sweet and smoky barbecue glazes to spicy Gochujang marinades and tangy finishing sauces, layering flavour is part of what makes barbecue cooking so rewarding.
Our range of BBQ sauces and condiments has been selected to complement premium meat without overpowering it.
How do I stop meat sticking to the grill?
Always preheat the grill properly and lightly oil the grates before cooking. Allow the meat to naturally release before turning - moving it too early is one of the most common causes of sticking.
What’s the best meat for smoking?
Brisket, Short Ribs and St Louis Ribs are amongst the most popular cuts for smoking due to their fat content and connective tissue, which break down beautifully over long cooks.
Which steak is best for BBQ?
For richness and marbling, Ribeye remains a classic. For balance and deep beef flavour, Sirloin is a favourite amongst chefs and grill enthusiasts alike.
